Hazardous asbestos fibers at the WTC exposed more than 110,000 people to the dangerous material; this includes 80,000 tower workers, 30,000 area residents and nearly 4,000 first responders. Asbestos exposure is directly linked to mesothelioma cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.

Cynthia Mckinney and Dr Nafeez Ahmed discuss 9/11 in UK Parliment

On the 8th of March 2010 Cynthia Mckinney (a former US Congresswoman and 2008 Green Party Presidential nominee) and Dr Nafeez Ahmed (best selling author and political scientist) address a meeting of Members of Parliament on the subject of the need for an independent investigation into the events of September 11th 2001.

"If the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded, the resulting horror, and chaos, would have exceeded our ability to describe it. Such an act of catatrophic terrorism would be a watershed event in American history. It could involve loss of life, and property, unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America's sense of security...
Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after."

Youtube - "Who's Philip Zelikow" (check it out, you won't believe it)

In his new book, The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9-11 Investigation, Philip Shenon wrote: “The appointment of Zelikow to head the inquiry into America’s response to the September 11 terrorist attacks was akin to putting the fox in charge of the hen house.”

The Family Steering Committee for the 9-11 Commission repeatedly called for Philip Zelikow’s resignation. The families, citing Zelikow’s close connections to the Bush Administration, were concerned that Zelikow’s appointment made a mockery of the idea that the Commission was “independent.”

ZELIKOW’S CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

Here Is A Chronology Of Zelikow’s Ties To The Bush Administration:
1989-91: Zelikow works closely with Condoleezza Rice as part of the National Security Council during George Bush Sr’s Administration.
1995: Zelikow & Rice write a book together.
1996-98: Zelikow & Rice are together again when Zelikow is Director of the Aspen Strategy Group, a Zionist foreign-policy strategy “think tank.” Rice, along with Dick Cheney & Paul Wolfowitz, are also members.
2000: Zelikow & Rice are reunited when Bush names Zelikow to his transition team for the National Security Council.
2000: Zelikow is briefed by former White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke about the growing al-Qaida threat.
2001: Zelikow is appointed by Bush to the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
2003: Zelikow is appointed Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission. Thus it is no different than if Rice or Cheney had been running the Commission.
2004: Zelikow skews the investigation by deciding which topics would be investigated and which ones not. Bush’s comic book line for the motive behind 9-11 is taken by Zelikow: “Al Qaida hates our freedom.”
2004: Zelikow is secretly in contact with President Bush’s close adviser Karl Rove while the “independent” Commission is completing its report finalized on July 22 2004

Philip D. Zelikow (Chairman, of the 9/11 Commission..)

While at Harvard Zelikow actually wrote about the use, and misuse, of history in policymaking. As he noted in his own words, "contemporary" history is "defined functionally by those critical people and events that go into forming the public's presumptions about its immediate past.

The idea of 'public presumption'," he explained, "is akin to [the] notion of 'public myth' but without the negative implication sometimes invoked by the word 'myth.'

Such presumptions are beliefs (1) thought to be true (although not necessarily known to be true with certainty), and (2) shared in common within the relevant political community."

Here are Zelikow's 1998 words. Readers should imagine the possibilities for themselves, because the most serious constraint on current policy is lack of imagination.

An act of catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America's history.

It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented for peacetime and undermine Americans' fundamental sense of security within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic bomb test, or perhaps even worse.

Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great "success" or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible.

Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future into a "before" and "after."

The effort and resources we devote to averting or containing this threat now, in the "before" period, will seem woeful, even pathetic, when compared to what will happen "after."

on Joy Behar's show tonight, saying that Zelikow was essentially 'part of the White House' in charge of the 9/11 Commission. Jesse pointed out that it took 2 years to get an investigation and that it was only appointed 4 million dollars originally. He compared that to the 100 million spent on Whitewater. Ventura also said that this commission was not allowed to look at certain kinds of information.

He made the point about how this was a huge military failure and yet no one was demoted or fired-- some were in fact promoted.
He didn't get into any demoltion evidence or the towers this time, but provided some very nice tidbits of information for the mass audience that tuned in. (And we know that his new book DOES mention the 1,000 architects and engineers calling for a new investigation).

He showed resolve and again brought up the Gulf of Tonkin lie which resulted in 58,000 dead US soldiers, comparing that to the 3,000 killed on 9/11, which was exploited by those in power to carry out their agenda. Good stuff.

"If the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded, the resulting horror, and chaos, would have exceeded our ability to describe it. Such an act of catatrophic terrorism would be a watershed event in American history. It could involve loss of life, and property, unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America's sense of security...
Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after."
~ Philip Zelikow, from "Catastrophic Terrorism, Imagining The Transformative Event" 1998

Isn't that just freaking EERIE?!

Look at how his "visioning" found it's way into the PNAC Document

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event � like a new Pearl Harbor..."

Nafeez mentioned (in Part I) - the 2005 Congressional briefing sponsored by Cynthia McKinney,
so a reminder or completely new information for the late comers into the 9/11 movement, let me stress this was broadcasted by C-Span and it was staffed with number of scholars and national security expert types. So, this event still serves as powerfull jumpboard to counter all these looney tunes about how the Kean-Hamilton Commission did it right or how you are disrespecting the 9/11 victim families.

PS isn't it telling that such important briefing was deleted from official website of Congress after McKinney left, or actually her candidacy was sabotaged, that's another story though..
